An elastic coupling, for shafts, comprising a series of radial spokes, every second one of which is connected to a hub element of a drive shaft, while the remaining spokes are connected, or adapted to be connected, to a hub element on a driven shaft. The coupling also has rubber elements mounted between successive spokes, for the transfer of peripheral forces and filled with a damping medium, to be deformed resiliently when the said hub elements do not rotate in the same direction. The coupling is characterized in that the rubber elements, mounted on each side of a spoke, have variable-volume cavities communicating with each other through aperture means, in the spokes, which offer resistance to the flow of said damping medium. |
